Kieran's parents are struggling in a community which is bound, for better or worse, to the sea that is both a lifeline and a threat. Between them all is his absent brother Finn.

When a body is discovered on the beach, long-held secrets threaten to emerge in the murder investigation that follows. A sunken wreck, a missing girl, and questions that have never washed away...

Excellent new novelby Jane Harper, this time set in Tasmania. The characters are well drawn, human with all their flaws and good sides and I got quickly drawn into the story. The ending surprised me as I didn't suspect that person at all. A solid good novel.
